Giới thiệu tác giả

Grace Livingston Hill (1865–1947) was an early 20th-century novelist who became widely known for her inspirational fiction steeped in Christian values. Born into a Presbyterian minister's family in Wellsville, New York, Hill's writing career was fortified by the influence of her aunt Isabella Macdonald Alden, a noted writer of Christian children's literature. Following personal hardships, including the untimely death of her first husband, Hill sought refuge in writing, producing over 100 novels and numerous short stories throughout her prolific career. A hallmark of Hill's literary style is her incorporation of Christian romance, where the narrative often follows a protagonist's journey towards moral and spiritual enlightenment, usually involving themes of redemption, virtue, and piety. 'An Unwilling Guest' typifies Hill's narrative strategy, combining elements of romance with Christian didacticism. Her works often featured female protagonists who navigate societal challenges with grace and moral fortitude. While Hill's work is reflective of the values prevalent in her era, her stories continue to resonate with readers who appreciate her fusion of faith and storytelling. Despite criticisms that her writings catered to popular tastes rather than literary finesse, Grace Livingston Hill remains an integral figure in the canon of Christian fiction.
